Firenze Soccer Game!

Yesterday, me, jess, tiffany, dee, kelly, and gina went to go watch the professional soccer team, florentina play at the stadium. As we were walking to the game, we noticed so many people around the city wearing purple (the team's color.) Even people not going to the game were supporting their team. Bars playing the game were jam-packed. 

The game was filled with passionate, expressive (to say the least) fans.  There was an entire section that was strictly men (almost all shirtless), standing in their seats going crazy. During halftime, tons of fathers bring their sons down to a small section of the field and play soccer with them. It is a tradition that starts from such a young age.

We won! It was definitely an experience and a fun day! Behind the stadium were rolling hills and gorgeous ancient buildings. Only in Florence!
